Hyundai Elantra key replacement and programming
Elantra is Hyundai’s best-known compact and has used nearly every Hyundai key type. Base cars in many years kept a flip key while upper trims moved to a Smart Key.
Elantra key systems by model year
Year ranges follow Elantra generations and are approximate. Trim, build date and factory options can change the system within a year, so we confirm it from your VIN before dispatch.

Lost every Elantra key?
If no working key remains, we can make and program a new key for many Hyundai vehicles at the car. The job depends on whether your vehicle has an immobilizer and which key system it uses, so we confirm both from your VIN first.

Important compatibility notice — final key compatibility must be confirmed
The key images, vehicle models, and year ranges shown on this page are provided as a general identification guide and may not apply to every vehicle. The manufacturer may use different key systems within the same model year depending on trim level, production date, manufacturing location, ignition type, and factory equipment. Final compatibility must be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN, ignition type, existing key or fob, and vehicle information before service. The images are representative examples and do not guarantee an exact visual match.
A current registration or title and matching government-issued photo identification must be verified before automotive key, lock, or immobilizer service is performed.
